Hey guys,

have tried searching but to no avail, perhaps my search queries arent relative to what other people typed before, as there is no way I'm the first person to have experienced this.

We all have that little green light that stays on under the steering column in our cars, however, mine has just started flashing.

Now I remember reading many moons ago, it pertained to some filter for incabin, incabin air filter or something...

can anyone shed some light on this ?

and if so, possible part numbers or replacement items and how hard it might be to replace if anyone has done this themselves??

thanks guys!!

That would be your in-cabin micro filter. If it's flashing it means you need to replace it (or a clean MIGHT suffice, I personally would replace it).

It's located behind your glovebox - here's how you do it. Hope this helps.

Oh and if you need a new one. You can try sourcing it from a US supplier (google is the best LOL) - the part number for the OEM filter in the US (Infiniti G35) is 999M1-VP001.

I don't have the OEM filter, I sourced a TYC filter from the US through amazon.com

I heard that the nissan X'trail has the same A/c filter

Is that true?

Could be, not too sure mate, the guys at my local Nissan were pretty unhelpful when I asked if a Z33 filter would fit - they kept saying "you'll have to bring in your existing filter and we have to check it etc, we have no idea about V35s (as if)" - didn't have time for that during the week so just added it to my brother's DVD order from Amazon.

The same filter in the US is shared on a few cars so I wouldn't be surprised even if Maximas/Xtrails etc use them. I would say the Z33 filters would be the most suitable match.

Good thread - didn't know the V35 had such a filter. Anyway, I had a look at the Amazon link to see what it looked like and clicked "what people buying this also bought". Interesting to note that a 60 pack of Durex condoms was listed. Have to assume that most guys with a V35 are chick-magnets... :thumbsup:

Don't know about any green lights... I don't have one... but you can get it from Nissan if you have trouble sourcing it.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
